many latinos are disillusioned with president barack obama. the reality is that he has deported more immigrants than any other president in the history of the united states and he broke a promise. he said that in 2008 and it's very difficult for latinos to believe president barack obama. however, when latinos have to choose between president barack obama who still supports immigration reform and the dream act, and governor romney, who supports self-deportation, who says that he's going to veto the dream act, who doesn't have a plan for 11 million undocumented immigrants, he's saying he has a permanent solution but hasn't given any specifics. when latinos have a choice, they still prefer president barack obama. >> maria, you reinforced this earlier. when people think of the latino vote, where it's especially important, people typically think of states, big populations like florida or california, but as you said, if you look at a state like colorado, where the president and governor romney are neck and neck, 13% of the electorate that's latino,

but one thing he said that was really interesting is that latinos -- should i win a big reason will be because the republican nominee and party have so alienated the fastest-growing demographic group in the country the latino community. if the turnout is over 9%, obama should win the lead among them is massive. do you think that turnout will be the thing to make the difference in nevada, colorado, florida, perhaps virginia, those competitive states with growing latino populations? >> if obama wins colorado and virginia you have to attribute it in part to that margin. when's sort of interesting, that's difficult to measure well and not all pollsters using spanish-speaking interviews and the rest but the nbc news/"wall street journal" poll i believe gave president obama 70% and the same as the decisions poll of the last week. that's actually slightly higher than percentage than the exit poll four years ago and equals the margin of four years ago, that's something different from everybody else except probably african-american voters where the numbers have gone down so i think that's right

because you have to remember also, you have a lot of very conservative members of the latino. a lot of catholics. a lot of people feel very strongly about the birth control and social issues and republicans are more in tune there. you haven't permanently alienated that group. >> you were the first and only female governor in the history of the state of new jersey. how proud that you did that? unfortunate there's not been someone to step in your shoes behind you, but what does that mean to you? >> one of the things i was never going to change, was that i was female. i didn't think about it from that perspective. more to me, the first person to defeat an incumbent governor since the constitution was changed in 1949 and for a while the only female governor in the country. puts you as a role model. you don't run to be a role model, but that's what you become, and that's kind of a daunting pross pebt. >> and why do you think you are so comfortable stepping into what could be perceived as a man's world? >> born and raised in it. a very strong mother and grandmother. my father and mo

i think it underlines a tone particularly latinos. you look at a party that has veered away to the right on issues like the dream act around immigration reform. you see a party that's--that mod raid latinos are abandoning in droves. i think it hits a chord that talks bigger about where the republican party is. >> eliot: there is no question the republican party which at one point when george w. bush spoke said i will lead a national conversation and make sure we can do something in this regard, the republican party understood politically that it needed latino votes long term to win. whether out of politics or being wrong--they have runaway from even the dream act which is a basic decency we don't kick kids out of our country. the republican party doesn't even give up on that. are they giving up on their future when they do this? >> i think that they are. the republican party is going to have to have a come to jesus moment. when 91% of the latino community supports the dream act. when 97% of the latino community opposes laws as seen in

that's amongst latinos. our poll shows obama beats romney 70% to 25% among latinos. romney sits 57% negative rating among latino voters. states like practice, nevada, colorado, why dolla teen owes distrust governor romney so much. >> you know, it goes back -- that -- the latino population is generally speaking part of the democratic base. and so what we are trying to do, obviously is reach out to all americans. no matter what they are -- ethnic back ground is and bring them aboard and have done a fine job. clearly, when you go into the very, very core of democratic base the toughest sell you have. they are very much loyal to that party and to the president. i think the key is that we are bring something aboard and our message important them as well as it is for all americans and that is we offer an opportunity for jobs. >> george w. bush won 40% of latino vote in 2004. so they are not completely loyal to one side. it shows there is room for growth. how come governor romney can't do that? >> we are doing everything we can. our message is clearly resonating with americ
